Located near Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Q on the outskirts of San Antonio, the Aue Stagecoach Inn was built during a frontier era when people relied on cramped, horse-drawn stagecoaches for mail and transportation.

German immigrant Max Aue, one of the founding fathers of Leon Springs, owned the inn. The two-story stone building sat in a prime location on a stagecoach line between San Antonio and San Diego.

The old building is a reminder of a rustic time lost to tract homes and suburbia. It's now owned by Rudy's.
